- Comment on "Florida is a conservative Christian state" 1 week ago:
Most people actually voted in favor of the florida abortion ammendment. The threshold is just unusually higher (60%) than most states. It was close to 60% but just a little shy at around 57%
With a different national environment with just a bit higher dem turnout, it probably would’ve passed
- Comment on Trump Bobs His Head to Music for 30 Minutes in Odd Town Hall Detour 5 weeks ago:
Headline and the article itself are both rather underselling it
There were some people that had fainted, so he switched formats to a Q&A with a speaker. A couple of questions into a Q&A he said “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Who the hell wants to listen to questions” and then wrapped up and seemed like he was done, but processed to bob to music for 39 minutes without leaving the stage
The whole rally is online, you can watch it yourself. Here’s how he spends the last 40 or so minutes youtu.be/bDZgox580B0?t=7447

Important: If you’re on the suspese list rather than being fully removed, you can still vote but will need to show proof of residence. Contact your registrar to check that and ask them about it
If voters find out they’re still on the suspended list after having shown up at their polling places on Election Day, they can still vote after they complete a “statement of residence” form.
Voters with suspended status who may have moved to other counties will be required to vote in the counties where they previously resided or may be asked to submit provisional ballots.

I also think some of them were so into their far right-wing media bubble that they thought people secretly like all their policies (they don’t)
Plus the media overall has historically not been great at really talking about Republican’s horrifying plans like this in the past. Barely mentioning that kind of stuff if at all. They were also banking on that continuing and to be fair, it almost certainly would’ve if not for the democratic party starting to talk about it way more

There’s actually more they haven’t published yet, and entire core pillar’s worth of the project 2025 platform. Despite having read a fair bit about project 2025, somehow I keep finding new horrible things that are part of it
From a letter signed by 35 representative addressed to the Heritage Foundation
Project 2025 would appear to honor the promise on your website about being “an open book, with our materials available online,”1 except for one glaring problem: the entire “Fourth Pillar,” the “180-Day Playbook” which you describe as a roadmap of comprehensive, concrete, early actions for each federal agency, remains shrouded in secrecy.
You have conspicuously declined to publish or disclose any of the prioritized early actions that we believe would obviously be the most important parts of Project 2025. The immediate executive orders, emergency declarations, presidential directives, and other measures are likely to have profound impacts on the American people and their government. Therefore, we believe it is overwhelmingly in the public interest for you to actually keep your “open book” promise by disclosing the “Fourth Pillar” of Project 2025, and we hope you’ll consider explaining why, unlike the first three pillars, you have been keeping it secret for so lon

Not necessarily. Self citation is different than building on your previous work. You might just seek to use other citations for the relevent concepts

- Comment on EUROBEE 5 months ago:
Not only that but honey bees also threaten native bees
But scientists say competition with honey bees may also play a role. In a 2017 report in Conservation Letters, researchers calculated that during three months, honey bees in a typical 40-hive apiary collect the equivalent amount of pollen and nectar as 4 million solitary wild bees. “Brilliant foragers,” honey bees can “dominate floral resources and suppress native bee numbers,” says lead author Jim Cane, a retired federal biologist who heads the nonprofit WildBeecology.
Honey bees also carry diseases that can infect natives, including deformed wing virus and the parasite Crithidia bombi. Researchers have found that native bees near apiaries can suffer a high incidence of such illnesses.
Fun fact, most North American native bee species don’t even live in hives or produce honey for themselves at all. They also almost never sting too
Unlike honey bees, more than 90 percent of our nearly 4,000 native bee species live not with other bees in hives but alone in nests carved into soil, wood or hollow plant stems. Often mistaken for flies, the majority are tiny and do not have queens or produce honey. Without a hive’s larvae and food supplies to defend, “native bees almost never sting,” Mizejewski say

- Comment on Socrates was ahead of his time 5 months ago:
Behind a paywall unfortunately
Language has no equivalent for the absolute physical silence that burst upon me in that fantastic, baffling chamber. […] I have known many kinds of silence—the silence of early morning, the silence of remote mountain summits, the silence of gently falling snow. […] Shut in by floor, ceiling, and walls of fiberglass, I throbbed with the silence of the dead and the silence that covers buried peoples and ages without a history.
- Comment on Socrates was ahead of his time 5 months ago:
That’s actually a true quote. Just phrased poorly by the AI. Anechoic chambers mainly block reflections. Hellen keller did go there and said it felt like true silence because she was used to feeling sound cause internal rumbling sensations. But with no reflection you couldn’t feel anything from the sounds

- Comment on Hey there gamers 6 months ago:
It is not well defined. Because an order of summation is not given you could just as easily sum pairs of (0,1), (-1,2), (-2,3), (-3,4)… (-x, x+1) and conclude you are constantly adding 1 to your total so it goes to infinity instead
Or do the reverse of (-1,0), (-2,1), … (-x-1, x) and get that the each pair adds -1 so the sum goes to negative Infinity
Order of the addition sometimes changes infinite sums. Infinitely large things are weird sometimes
